Condition
The colours have largely remained fresh and strong although some pigments may have changed, particularly in the foliage of the trees to the left of the composition. There is evidence of very minor paper discolouration. However this can only be seen on close inspection and in no way destroys the balance of the composition. The sheet has not been laid down and overall the condition is good.
